J. Christian Jensen has been working in film and media for over ten years. He started in journalism before moving to indie narrative fiction and then entering the broadcast realm – working on non-fiction productions for National Geographic, FRONTLINE and American Experience. His first film, Sou da Bahia, was shot in Brazil and explores art and Afro-Brazilian identity. Christian's recent documentary work, completed at Stanford University, has screened at major festivals around the world winning several top awards including an Academy Award® Nomination for his film White Earth about an oil boom in North Dakota seen through unexpected eyes. His work often explores existential themes and tensions between science, religion, modernization, and traditional values. He is often drawn to misfits and outsiders to help tell his stories. Christian currently works as a producer and editor in the San Francisco Bay Area and is also a lecturer at Stanford University.
